“Dream Big” is a self help book for people who are new and for people who are hesitant in investing in mutual funds. The book highlights the importance of financial planning and the advantages of investing early. Its gives us the details of various types of mutual funds and tells us how myths are created by people about mutual funds. The author goes ahead and shows us with examples how the myths created are wrong and that mutual fund is of each and everybody who is willing to make an entry in the mutual funds world can do so with a minimum corpus of Rs. 500. The author has even highlighted the problems with today’s youth how they live in the moment with credit card along their side and how they end up in the vicious circle of credit cards and their billing cycle. The author has not only shown us the problems but also gives us the alternate if the youth is careful with their spending habits and also gives us the perspective of with savings and without savings for the future.

The author has further explained the future value of the current amount in hand and inflation. The author has given examples to make a point to the readers and explained how keeping money in the bank is not sufficient as the returns that a person gets from savings account is not sufficient to beat the current rate of inflation and how taking a little risk and investing in mutual funds can help you to get higher returns and in turn somehow beat the current rate of inflation as the value of money keeps on changing. The author also explains that if a person has to keep his current lifestyle it is very important for him to save his money intelligently and in a scheme/plan which will yield him higher rate of interest.

The book not only emphasizes on mutual fund but also enlightens the reader about insurance, financial planning, legacy planning. The book is written in a very simple language which makes it a perfect read for novices. It lays forward all the options available to the investor hence enabling the investor to choose the right plan according to his needs.

I would refer this book to everybody who is looking forward to save some of his hard earned money and is totally new to mutual funds and other options available in the market and also to somebody who is already investing but doesn’t have detailed knowledge about how the financial market works.

MY RATING: 5/5 Stars
